Chapter 7 prompt:

im begging you to please read this excerpt from an interview of florence pugh and andrew garfield promoting we live in time you wont regret it lmao

My terrible headcanon that I will never put in a story is that Steve Rogers woke up after his plane hit the ice. Right after the initial impact, I mean. Idk why but I've always had this vivid image in my head of him lifting his head and looking around, half-aware, and hearing the water rushing in. Trying the radio, even, but of course it does not work. He is injured, he can feel the biting cold, his vision is already wavering. He understands his situation. He unbuckles himself and leaves the pilot's seat. He stumbles to the floor. He puts himself on his back. No one will find him, he thinks. He's at peace with that. It was worth it. So he lays himself down, thinks hazily that it's lucky he was sick as a kid, because he's already had his last rites. He's losing feeling but he tries to fold his hands neatly on his stomach the way his mama was when she went into the ground. He thinks about her. His Commandos. Peggy. Stark. He hopes he's done right by Dr. Erskine. It's so cold. It was cold like this when he lost Bucky. Now he's following after, like he always does.

Yes! I'm sorry, but there's no physical way Steve could have been at the controls of the Valkyrie in the position SHIELD found him in. If the impact had simply thrown him from his seat, how would he have ended up in that position…? He lay still, straight on his back, with his arms by his sides.
